5 0

Answer:

It would be 126(B)

Explanation:

because the "equation" to solve this problem would be to multiply 56 and 45 then with that total divide by 20.

It's the mark- return-recapture method. Ecologists use it to calculate the estimated population of biodiversity

also I did the test and it was right!

The forelimb structure seen in both bat wings and human arms is very similar to that of an extinct land animal called eusthenopt
Mumz [18]

  The fact that both the humans and the bats have very similar forelimb structure, the humans in the arms, the bats in their wings, which in turn is very similar to those of an ancient sarcopterygian called eusthenopteron, suggest that both species probably share a common distant ancestor.

  The eusthenopteron was an ancient species first thought to be living on land, though the latest research shows that it was only living in water, however, this animal is a distant ancestor of both species. This animal can be seen as ancestor to the humans and the bats because it is part of group that created the first animals on land, which in turn gave rise to the mammals later on, and both humans and bats are mammals, thus there's a connection and common ancestor of the both.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

It ocurred a selection by allopatric speciation

Explanation:

The allopatric speciation refers to the evolution in which the same specie starts developing different characteristics because of geographic barrers and this characteristics after some time generates two different specie.

It happens because usually according to the environment or the predators, species have to develop different adaptations so they can survive. In this case we have two different types of camouflage adaptations made by the salamanders acording to the conditions so for one specie it is better to camouflage from the predator mean while to the other is better to use lived colors to seem as it is a poisonous animal and in this way avoid the predators.

So you can see the same specie develop different strategies to survive because of a geographic separation, generating an allopatric speciation.
